need your opinion Leg hair test -~92 days since smoked

[l33tdeamon]

Hi all,

Can you give me some feedback, I had smoked one time in past 7 years about 92 days ago. Went in to get hair test, my hair is too short so they took it from my leg. Im freaking out dont know if I will be caught. Everywhere I have been reading leg hair will retain information for 1 year. I think that if that is the case the sign must be weaker than head hair.

Any thoughts? Give me some of your opinions.

Thanks

The key to your question isn't how long THC* metabolites can be detected but the incorporation rate (ICR) into hair. Infrequent use isn't incorporated into
hair. Rather occurs only after use on a regular basis across a period of time. So based on your description there would be no THC in any body hair. "Drug testing technology that detects the residual presence of cannabinoids and/or their metabolites in the hair typically fails to identify occasional marijuana users."

*meaning any cannabinoid including THC-COOH.

ThanksOk,from what I read,your hair comes from your blood,and it takes 10 days to be cleaned out.so if you wait 10 days and shave your entire body,your hair should be clean,but this is how they can tell if you have done anything for 90 days.cause the thc can detect the recent depending on a if it's a 30 day,60 day test,or 90 day.so you should be ok if it's a 90 day test.
